Gloria Swanson is amazing. Please see Male and Female (silent) or The Tresspasser (her first talking film). My favorite silent of hers is Manhandled. There is still a print available, but not on DVD.
She was one of the first actresses nominated for an academy award and was nominated three times total. She represented the '20s as a glorious silent film actress. She initially did well in the transition between silent and talking pictures, but eventually she was forgotten.
However, Billy Wilder remembered working well with her on an earlier picture and had her star in 1950s Sunset Blvd. This was one of the greatest screen performances of all time.
Unfortunately, Gloria Swanson lost at the Academy Awards this year and Judy Holliday was picked for Born Yesterday in 1950.
Gloria was more representative of the '20s than the '50s, but she left her greatest mark in the 1950s.
